Since those who filed the issue did not even stated which file is affected this is pure speculation but the virus issue really look like a false positive. The pre-built firmware checked into a repo could easily trigger an anti-virus.

The repo is mostly made of plain text files, the zip and the bin don't look required for anything so if your feeling paranoid delete them before building!
OK cool. Now please cite some of that peer-reviewed research you mentioned.
so — what happened in 1995 that provided a better laundry?

(or was the critical date 25 Dec 1991, and the program just had inertia? 1995 is mid-Yeltsin and mid-Clinton, so those can both be ruled out?)
Ironically, CPython itself is already inundated by junk bug reports from core developers themselves, some of whom cash in on "fixing" the fake issues.

Or sometimes bugs are introduced by the endless churn but then attributed to someone who wrote the original bug-free code, which leads to more money and (false) credit for the churn experts.
> I don't understand why Apple has chosen to tie Safari updates to OS updates

The main reason is because of WebKit, which is a built-in OS SDK.

If they update WebKit, then Safari also needs to be updated, to satisfy the new links, if for no other reason.
There are those of us out there that have a beautiful experience with JavaScript. Vanilla JS, web components, a lightweight rendering library like lit-html, class props as reactive state...

It’s weird because there’s no real difference between “hallucinations” and other output.

LLMs are prediction engines. Given the text so far, what’s most likely to come next? In that context, there’s very little difference between citing a real court case and citing something that sounds like a real court case.

The weird thing is that they’re capable of producing any useful output at all.

According to what killjoywashere said, the vendors do not want to implement these standards. So if CAP wants the standards to be relevant, they should release them for random people to implement.
Also, the second best way to enrich yourself in America is probably buying a home. But you need a down payment and the ability to afford it over the 30y mortgage.

>I believe I'm unsuitable to be a parent, yet everyone around me assured me it would be ok

They might just have said that not to sound alarming, and to close the subject.

You know yourself infinitely better than anyone else does, so if you have even the slightest doubt, you should never rely on others to decide what's best for you.

Be especially wary of people close to you, as proximity increases the belief of knowledge much more easily than actual knowledge.

Reminds me of a Philip Roth quote: "The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again."

Indeed, owning a dog is a job. In some ways, more than parenthood. In my observations, comparable to a parrot, about 10% of a horse.

Can’t have harmonics (i.e. harmonic oscillations, or any oscillations really) without e, though. sine and cosine are both sums of e, and if you look at the beauty of analytical sinusoid signals (which only have one component in the entire spectrum, lacking their negative frequency one) it’s just one exponential and nothing else.
Folks have an unhealthy mentality about beating the market, imo. You don’t need to beat the market if you’re not a fund manager trying to advertise your record. You just need to do well.

The market is up 27% YTD. Most global trends suggest, to me, a greater centralization of wealth into the US. Just dumping everything into the SP500 is likely more than great for 99% of people for the near future.
> Like with everything else, using your brain cells can quickly make you realize it's a lot more than "gambling"

Which sounds similar to how gambling addicts report their thoughts on their addiction - that they are smart enough to learn poker, or they know enough basketball to be able to predict outcomes.

Like with everything else, some research and data interpretation shows that with the remarkable exception of two or three highly specialized companies that employ some of the best mathematicians alive, most active investors underperform.
How did you do on your 2024 goals?
I think there’s some dissonance here, we still have to know what to search for. So really this is more of a “trend checker” than a “trend exposer.” Would be great if we could see the actual trending stuff like back in the day Twitter before they just started “tailoring/personalizing” the trend section
Everything here is possible, the gap in implementation is that it’s a) expensive and b) non trivial engineering work. There is vanishingly small overlap between the people whom have the capital for parts, the understanding of the engineering needed, free time to do it and desire to do it for free.

The people whom have the true multidisciplinary understanding to do robotics well can usually also consult (with little difficulty finding work) for $$$s per hour and get the same “problem solving satisfaction”.

Open source software shortcuts a couple of these limitations because you can work on it with little investment over than time.

You can always give away the kid, the whole adoption industry is here to help. In some countries you can even sell your kids, but it is frowned upon in many Western societies. Finally, fostering is the trial run you are looking for.
I do agree with not installing it by default. When a person installs the OS interactively via either a GUI or curses interface there should be categories they can select for how they wish to use the OS. If they select "Printing" then CUPS should be installed and only after selecting that category.

I do not agree that cups should not be built into a Linux distribution. People should have the option to use it if they wish, just not installed by default. The related packages should be on the installation media and servers.
For simple projects, I really like Linear.app. It's a basic kanban workflow without the Jira bloat.

For medium size projects, my team used Airtable to good effect, customizing it to suit our needs while still maintaining ease of use.

The worst thing is that AI will make it even harder for human beings to talk to other human beings for support or to fix problems, because the bad faith actors AI-DDOSing every channel will cause businesses to take precautions to avoid spending actual money on responding to AI garbage

The best one is the one that enables a team of developers to flow and get their work done. It will depend on what the company builds and for what market. You have given no indication of what your company does, the team size, etc. so the best answer is really the useless: It Depends.

If you are building command and control software for an energy power plant, or medical software, you probably have a lot of regulatory requirements to meet so it may require a more intensive PM tool for tracking of work, sign-offs, etc.

If you are building time tracking software for managing a staff of retail employees, precision and regulations are very different than a power plant.

My suggestion is the most minimalist set of features to help the team stay organized and get things done. All the extra features packed in claiming to make things easier never really do. There is no silver bullet to make projects go better than a team that gels together well and a PM tool, or any software, isn't going to be the key thing that makes that happen.

But often a positive impact. I would think more often than not the positive outweighs the negative, but not for everybody.

> ~48% of first marriages fail, ~60% of second marriages, ~70% third marriages.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4240051/

> The Centers for Disease Control stopped gathering complete data on the number of children affected by divorce in 1988, and at that time more than one million children were affected (Cohen 2002). Since then, the incidence of divorce has continued to climb, and according to the 2009 American Community Survey, only 45.8 percent of children reach age 17 years while still living with their biologic parents who were married before or around the time of the child's birth (Fagan and Zill 2011). The majority of divorces affect younger children since 72 percent of divorces occur during the first 14 years of marriage. Because a high percentage of divorced adults remarry, and 40 percent of these remarriages also end in divorce, children may be subjected to multiple family realignments (Cohen 2002).

> As relationships, living arrangements and family life continue to evolve for American adults, a rising share are not living with a romantic partner. A new Pew Research Center analysis of census data finds that in 2019, roughly four-in-ten adults ages 25 to 54 (38%) were unpartnered – that is, neither married nor living with a partner. This share is up sharply from 29% in 1990. Men are now more likely than women to be unpartnered, which wasn’t the case 30 years ago.

I'd have to guess the demographics of HN lean rather Millennial, and I don't have to guess that they lean heavily male. I think it's probably just a collective biological clock thing; it's something I've started to feel myself. Intellectually, I want kids less than ever (so it's for the best I never had any), but emotionally, I do sort of understand the urge.
>How you index into them is unrelated to performance.

Not true. If you store u32 indices, that can impose less memory/cache pressure than 64-bit pointers.

Also indices are trivially serializable, which cannot be said for pointers.

Honestly, I think the majority of the times I've said that sentence has been after running code that has an obvious mistake (like the code I posted above)!
People wish to feel safe. One path to safety is controlling or managing the environment. Lack of sufficient control produces anxiety. But control is only possible if the environment is predictable, i.e., relatively certain knowledge that if I do X then the environment responds with Y. Humans use models for prediction. Loosely speaking, if the universe is truly mechanistic/deterministic, then the goal of modeling is to get the correct model (though notions of "goals" are problematic in determinism without real counterfactuals). However, if we can't know whether the universe is truly deterministic, then modeling is a pragmatic exercise in control (or management).

My comments are not about simulating the universe on a real machine. They're about the validity and value of math/computational modeling in a universe where determinism is scientifically indeterminable.

Why do you need to put faith in them? Switching email providers is just a DNS change away, and email messages can be stored locally - actually it's encouraged to do so.
It’s an interesting thought - even with a translator, could their cognition and world be so alien to us as to be incompressible?

I would think largely not - particularly for mammals - it’s easy to think you have nothing in common with a shrew or a whale, but we are quite recent cousins, and much of our cognitive architecture and sensorium is the same.

That said, there could well be challenges and revelations beyond the obvious - for instance, can domesticated members of a species communicate with their wild cousins, or have they lost their culture/language? Cetaceans - do they talk in holograms? These are perhaps still obvious questions, but if it’s something we figure out, we may get answers to things we’ve never even considered asking.
Ah, it wasn't clear from they they wrote that this is what they meant.
I agree with this approach and use it myself, but these confidence markers can also skew output in undesirable ways. All of these heuristics are especially fragile when the subject matter touches the frontiers of what is known.

In any case my best experiences with LLMs for pure math research have been for exploring the problem space and ideation -- queries along the line of "Here's a problem I'm working on ... . Do any other fields have a version of this problem, but framed differently?" or "Give me some totally left field methods, even if they are from different fields or unlikely to work. Assume I've exhausted all the 'obvious' approaches from field X"
I got an ESP32 WROOM 32U board that I intent to use it as the flight controller which will keep the drone within its flight envelope and do the maneuvering upon receiving commands from the phone.

I find the phone appealing because I want try to make it somewhat autonomous, like im RTS games where you give a unit a command to go somewhere and it figures the path out by itself and avoids obstacles without direct input. The phone has quite a lot of processing power and sensors and IMHO doing it on board will be more interesting. Also, I'm not sure that the connection will be always stable and high bitrate make the drone a thin client.
This all ultimately boils down to "the attacks that I believe I'm immune to are okay, the attacks that I'm not immune to are not okay."

The victim in your knife attack had the opportunity to leave by never going to the grocery store. The fact they couldn't foresee that attack is solely because they lacked the information or cognitive ability to foresee it, just like an 80 IQ gambler with a Draftkings account lacks the information/cognitive ability to foresee the attack on him.

So many people walk around with the implicit ethical system that 80 IQers don't deserve to have a decent life in the modern world. That is obviously despicable once it's stated explicitly.

> "They asked for evidence of bounds checks being expensive"

They said "bounds-checking penalties are small" not that it was free. You've described a situation where bounds checking happens and declared that it "should be" expensive because it happens. You haven't given evidence that it's expensive.

I love all the "helpless" internet advice in this thread by people who are oblivious to what depression is.

"Oh you're depressed and suffer from making executive decisions. Why don't you just make a decision and fix this?! You know therapists exist right!? Fuck you're so fucking dumb, you piece of shit. Just be happy, it's not that hard!"
This is common. I've done it myself and had no problems. I want to buy some bulky item from another part of the country, I trust the seller, so I just wire them the money and tell them when my movers are going to show up.
Well, I do think children is maybe idealized a little. I'm probably pretty happy because I went into it having heard all of the negatives, decided I was ok with it and came out pleasantly surprised. Also too many people do it because of societal or family pressure.

Also some people will just always be unhappy. The grass is always greener syndrome.
Selective pressures evolved the human brain to its current state.

When you’re a relatively small primate with soft surface areas, and easy to piece skin, what survives will depend on cognitive flexibility for successful survival. Resource constraints will also demand efficiency, so survival becomes a balancing act between being energy efficient and cognitively flexible.

Human cognitive “ailments” like bipolar disorders, anxiety, autism and schizophrenia etc. are poorly understood because we treat them like some sort of disease. However, consider that these disorders are only categorized as such because of the social dysfunction they create in a relatively new type of social organization. Humans evolved over millennia, but our post-agrarian lifestyles are relatively new.

People who have such cognitive differences have a different form of cognitive flexibility, which we don’t properly understand to harness quite yet in our current social contexts. Being cognitively flexible has its advantages, but I wonder if there’s also a connection to increased susceptibility to depression and other forms of neuronal degradation. Sadly, cognitive researchers are entrenched in old ways of thinking, like treating these conditions as “disorders” or diseases.

Wow. Stop right there.
my main problem with the raspberry pi 4 8GB as a desktop PC is that first, the 8GB model is not exactly "cheap", and by the time you add all the extra stuff needed to make it usable (power supply, case, heatsink, fan, good sized of quality microsd card, etc) it costs well above a hundred bucks...

And for $100 I can go to ebay and get a used dell small form factor desktop with a core i5-something quad core cpu, 16GB RAM, 160GB Intel SSD which will run circles around it in performance as a real linux desktop.

The only thing the rpi has going for it is tiny size and its I/O pins which aren't so relevant if your application is "i want a desktop that can capably play youtube videos"
In my experience, autocomplete/intellisense/LSP/etc is very difficult to get working on most codebases if you aren't already intimately familiar with how that codebase / language / framework / etc works, or someone with that familiarity has laid out exact steps for your IDE.

When I see someone using these features as part of their workflow, I semi-confidently predict that they spend the majority of their time working on a single codebase, such that the time investment to get everything working was worthwhile.

If, like me, you work on multiple different codebases most weeks, it rarely makes sense to even try setting those things up.
Oh, I got an accelerometer card for that. It's very small and cheap, there are also cards that contain a gyro + barometer. So if the phone ones are not real-time enough cheap options exist.
